    Angie: When my beer kegs turn up missing days before a big event, I hire Monsters, PI to track down my beer. Who's assigned to my case? Tuvid, the gargoyle who wrongfully accused me of gnome-theft. 
     
     
     
    Tuvid's seven feet of gargoyle muscles with a killer smile. So, when our not-one-night-stand results in a marriage proposal—solely to save his gargoyle rep—I know I'm in trouble. My business plans don't include marrying a gargoyle, but Tuvid's impossible to resist. 
     
     
     
    Tuvid: I met Angie while I was wrapping up a local investigation involving stolen gnomes. I was given the wrong address, and I accused her of stealing the little guys. I was determined to make amends. Plus ask her out, but she didn’t return my calls. 
     
     
     
    Then we're locked inside her microbrewery's storage, and who should unlock the door? Her mom and mine. It's clear we've been together all night, though we didn't do anything—well, not much.

    She opened her mouth to scream, but he slapped something across her lips. The gag tasted of salt and mould, rough sacking on her tongue. 
     
    With a terrifying certainty, she knew she was going to die. 
     
    DI Geraldine Steel knows people go missing all the time; sometimes because they don't want to be found. So when her partner Ian asks her to look into the disappearance of his football-buddy's girlfriend, her first instinct is to reassure him there's no need for concern. 
     
    Until she's called to a suspected murder, and all her instincts tell her she's right about the identity of the victim. 
     
    The young woman has earth and leaf mould and fragments of twigs in her long fair hair, her nose, her mouth, under her finger nails, clinging to her clothes. It's as if she'd been completely encased in earth. And yet she was found on the pavement, at the side of a suburban road, where she wasn't in contact with any soil or mud. 
     
    Had she managed to escape a living grave? 
     
    Without a crime scene, the investigation focuses on her boyfriend. But Ian insists his friend is incapable of murder, and Steel is torn. Without evidence, she knows their case is weak. But without evidence, can she let a possible killer go free? 
     
    She needs to find out what really happened. Where did the assault occur? Why are there traces of DNA from two other unidentified sources on the body? What reason could there be to attack a popular young woman who never did anyone any harm? And why bury her body so carelessly that she was able to escape? 
     
    Then another young woman is reported missing. Unless he has an accomplice, they have an innocent man in custody. And Steel is running out of time . . .
